The coming Friday will see an interesting clash between two smaller ventures, UTV Motion Pictures` `Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!` and Onir`s `Sorry Bhai!`. One feels that despite `Sorry Bhai!` having a much better cast of Shabana Azmi, Boman Irani, Sharman Joshi and Chitrangda Singh, it will be the better publicized Paresh Rawal, Abhay Deol and Neetu Chandra starrer, `Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye!`, that will finally walk away with the honours!

Last Friday saw the release of one of the most lavishly mounted projects of recent times, Subhash Ghai`s Anil, Salman, Zayed and Katrina starrer, `Yuvvraaj`. Unfortunately, the film went the way we had predicted in our last report. The opening of the film was below the mark almost everywhere, except for a few stations of Rajasthan, Central and North India. Trade feels that `Yuvvraaj` has turned out to be too boring and too long. It needs heavy re–editing but even that wont be able to save the film because it is inherently a poorly executed show all the way. It is likely to entail heavy losses to its distributors. The Anil, Salman, Zayed and Katrina starrer has also been rejected in the Overseas.

Karan Johar`s Tarun Mansukhani directed `Dostana` was lapped up the multiplex audience quite well, especially in cities like Bombay, Delhi (mainly South Delhi), Pune and Bangalore. But collections in even these cities and, of course, in other places, began to drop from Monday/Tuesday onwards. Still, the week saw a good haul for `Dostana`. Given the fact that Yash Raj Film Distributors had acquired the world rights (excluding audio) of `Dostana` for Rs. 52 crore, the film has to sustain in the coming weeks in India. The Abhishek, John, Priyanak and Bobby (special appearance) starrer is already a hit in the Overseas.

Despite universal acclaim, `Dasvidaniya` failed to get substantial collections. Though credit must be given for whatever it achieved in the presence of a mighty opposition like `Dostana`. If it can show some legs in the coming weeks, `Dasvidaniya` can hope for at least a recovery, but even that looks very difficult, if not impossible.

After a hurricane like start but a crashing second week, `Golmaal Returns` shows another huge drop. Taking into account the fancy procurement price, `Golmaal Returns` is now a above average fare in India. The film has done fairly well in UK.

Madhur Bhandarkar`s `Fashion` once again falls by quite a bit, this time even in Bombay. The film has now netted the highest ever for a Madhur Bhandarkar movie, thanks to the UTV stamp. Given the release costs `Fashion` is now an above average fare in India but has been totally rejected in the Overseas.
